Nov. 2: Review of Workers’ Comp Assessment Process Underway

The government is conducting a review of the WCB’s process for setting employer premiums to look for ways to strengthen employer incentives for more effective injury prevention while targeting the illegal practice of claim suppression. A separate, comprehensive analysis of injury-prevention activities in the province is currently underway to help reduce the number of workplace injuries and time-loss injury rates. The report on the WCB’s process for setting employer rates is to be submitted to the minister in the spring of 2013.
